I took umbrage with the quickness with which you flipped on him.

If he got bent out of shape over that, good riddance. I actually doubt it was about money when you made $2.33 million that year.

As I said, those claiming their posts are sarcasm have a problem because a fair number of posts here look that way but are serious

in this day and age, sarcasm is in the eye of the beholder. I have seen a lot called that when it was indeed serious

I always thought that you have to 3x the intensity of sarcasm when online.

Brother IE has been using italics for sarcasm for over a decade.

Stop picking fights with everyone all off-season

If it’s not obvious, we use italics when posting sarcasm.

This idea that everyone should know that italics is sarcasm is BS
little cliques wanting special treatment

Using italics online is standard practice for online forums and has been for years, catch up with the times old man

Of course the alternative is thinking you were the first person on IE to ever suggest inventing a way to denote sarcasm

notredomer23 · 2026-05-21T10:00:11-0400

I've done a 180 on Burma. This is a great troll. Posting as a sub 70 IQ buffoon in the offseason is usually reserved for gameday threads.

Dale · 2026-05-21T10:02:34-0400

O/U 4.5 more burma posts before he blows it up

He ventured over to the political forums so he'll probably crash out real soon

I joined IE about a year ago and picked up on the italics thing in about a week.

KPENN · 2026-05-21T10:19:21-0400

How it feels knowing your post started a little chaos

I guess if you spent hours a day here that is true
I have a life outside of here
I check in a few times a day to see if anything is interesting
I do not live here or on any forum; probably visit ten of them a day
I do not care what special little rituals you have

You've already posted more than three times as many messages as I have. Seems like you spend more time on here than I do. Now you know how we indicate sarcasm here--just accept the lesson and move on.

You’ve been actively posting since 9:30 AM and after posting till 2:00 AM last night

Posting is not staying here hour by hour dude
I check in; see if there is anything worth posting about and then leave to real life

burmafrd1944 · 2026-05-21T10:44:56-0400

Is the italics means sarcasm here a board rule or just a little quirk of the people who live here?

And 95% of the people who didn't know the italics was IE's designation for sacrasm post a simple .... "ooops, my bad, I never noticed that" and we move on. It's happened to a fair amount of people. Your reaction tells us who you are. An asshole.

It is not a board rule.
It is a common courtesy that posters use to denote sarcasm but not 100% followed. However, if you see a post in italics, it is sarcasm.
If your post is sarcasm and you don't use italics, it's not a massive deal, but it may cause some confusion. The end result is the poster probably reminding themselves to use the italics next time.
IE could've gone the route of using a "/s" at the end of a post to indicate sarcasm. We did not and I'm not sure that anyone knows why.
